Thanks to the dwarven mother who disappeared when she was four, Matti Puletasi has the strength of a bear and the stamina of an ox. It would have been better for her love life if she had the beauty of a swan and the grace of a gazelle, but at least she’s got a right hook that can knock bad guys through brick walls.

Unfortunately, her unorthodox method of fighting crime hasn’t gone unnoticed, and when her enemies frame her for murder, the authorities don’t believe she’s innocent.

If Matti doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life in jail, she must find a way to clear her name.

The only person willing to help is a haughty elf assassin from another realm. He’s handsome, powerful, and deadly, but he’s got an agenda of his own. She dare not trust him—or be attracted to him.

But if she can’t prove she’s innocent, the assassin will be the least of her worries.

Two things hold our starship together.
Duct Tape and hate.

In the near future space debris around Earth has made it impossible to traverse our solar system. Or it would be, if not for prisoners sentenced to clearing that debris known as Orbital Garbage Removal Experts, or O.G.R.E. for short.

Former linguistics professor Dax has made it a habit of working aboard The Junkyard with a small crew, the conspiracy theorist, tech-savvy hacker Mark and the once decorated military hero turned war criminal, Kane.

One day a job goes badly when the “debris” turns out to be an alien ship with a deceased crew and an auto-pilot warp drive. The alien craft jumps with The Junkyard attached only to crash land on a desolate, alien world. A world home to insects the size of cars called Underbeasts and the native alien orc-like Dal’no who have been thrown back to the Iron Age.

Join Dax, Mark and Kane as they strike bargains with the formerly technologically advanced species, unravel the beginnings of a human written language and find out they aren’t the first humans to visit the strange planet.

Grab a copy of Starship Bandits to see if this scraggly bunch of criminals can succeed where Conquistadors, Crusaders and even Navy Seals have failed. Their mission? Kill the Underbeast queen and save what’s left of the Dal’no race.

In the year 2432, humans think they are alone in the universe. They’re wrong.

Commander Noa Sato plans a peaceful leave on her home planet Luddeccea … but winds up interrogated and imprisoned for her involvement in the Archangel Project. A project she knows nothing about.

Professor James Sinclair wakes in the snow, not remembering the past twenty four hours, or knowing why he is being pursued. The only thing he knows is that he has to find Commander Sato, a woman he’s never met.

A military officer from the colonies and a civilian from Old Earth, they couldn’t have less in common. But they have to work together to save the lives of millions–and their own.
Every step of the way they are haunted by the final words of a secret transmission:

The archangel is down.

They thought the war was over… Now the Dark is back with a vengeance.

Madeleine Greenbriar has everything she ever dreamed of…and is about to screw it all up.
Five years after the war with the Dark, the Naturals — the order of demon hunting mages who protect the world — are busier than ever. Demons still prowl the earth, searching for a way to prolong their lives, and Madeleine is on the front lines risking everything to end the threat once and for all.
But when she runs afoul of a demon and risks exposing the supernatural world to humanity, her future is on the line. As punishment, she’s transferred to the archaeological dig at Camelot.
Expecting a boring babysitting job, Madeleine is shocked when she lands in the middle of a secret so powerful, it might tear apart the entire world — again.
Can a moody goth girl hold it together long enough to stop another war erupting?
There’s only one way to find out.

Demon Bound is the first novel in The Camelot Archive, an urban fantasy series set in the same alternate Arthurian world seen in The Arondight Codex. Demons, danger, and deadly romance await in this thrilling new twist on a familiar legend.

“The next nearest inhabited planet had just been blown into its constituent particles…In response, the thaumic force of that world—colloquially known as magic—had mere seconds ago fled the planet like the proverbial rat from a sinking ship, and was in search of a likely place to relocate.”

Sometimes magic manifests early in a planet’s life, sometimes late. Sometimes it never appears at all.

Sometimes it appears at exactly the wrong time, and in exactly the wrong way.

Now Ulric has a head full of words he doesn’t understand, and the results can be explosive. Heline has discovered a talking hat that’s helping her write songs. Nerlim thinks his staunch belief in the existence of a mysterious fifth force will finally be vindicated, if he can escape from the nursing home and track it down. Gammy just wants to see her moon launch succeed…and Wint would rather go home and lie down, if it’s all the same to everyone.

And in this ultimate power struggle between magic and technology, the trans-dimensional beings of the Convocation also want a piece of the action.

There’s no way this could go badly…

How did it come to this? My life used to be so simple. Back then, I hated it; I found it boring. Let me tell you: boring’s good. Boring’s great! I should’ve been thankful…

It was supposed to be a date like any other for James Hunter, a simple convenience store clerk. Nothing more than watching a movie in the town of Moncton. A place as unknown and unimportant as he considered his own existence to be. And yet, while walking to a cinema, James teleports to another world. There, a hostile crowd surrounds him, including various mutants with strange deformities.

Before he can even gather his wits or make a dash for it, a lone ally presents herself in the form of a winged woman named Rose. An important cultural figure in the country where James appeared, she offers him both protection and a home.
Soon, James learns that this new world is divided by a cold war. On one side is Nirnivia, home to Rose. The other, Ostark, is led by a mysterious cyborg. James is unaware that the cyborg has him in his crosshairs, thinking of him as the Deus ex machina that will end the war in his favor.

But the cyborg is far from the only potential threat to James. Soon after his arrival, BRR, a terrorist organization, kidnaps him.
What would a rogue group out for revenge-seeking to turn the cold war hot want with someone like James? Is there anyone also aware of this other world who will try to find him? Or is he on his own? If so, how is he supposed to escape? If that’s even an option…
